Odds Hillary Won Without Widespread Fraud: 1 in 77 Billion Says Berkeley, Stanford Studies

excerpts:

"Standford University researcher Rodolfo Cortes Barragan to a subset of the data found that the probability of the “huge discrepancies” of which “nearly all are in favor of Hillary Clinton by a huge margin” was “statistically impossible” and that “the probability of this this happening was is 1 in 77 billion”.

"Namely that Hillary’s win was could have only been possible a result of widespread election fraud."

" the data found that the probability of the “huge discrepancies” of which “nearly all are in favor of Hillary Clinton by a huge margin” was “statistically impossible” and that “the probability of this this happening was is 1 in 77 billion”.

"Furthermore, the researchers found that the election fraud only occurred in places where the voting machines were hackable and that did not keep an paper trail of the ballots."

"In these locations Hillary won by massive margins."

"On the other hand, in locations that were not hackable and did keep paper trails of the ballots Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton."

Pick it apart all you want but it is the truth. Four studies..........the same truth. Another stolen election and the winners of the fraudulent election are gleeful. Democracy has a problem. My opinion of course.

OUR party has been corrupted by ugly, fucking politics.

Triangulation, "third way", DLC, ALL of that horseshit, has robbed us of what we were in the New Deal and the Great Society.

But, guess what? We're facing a danger of which I have, in my 45 years of being a Democrat, NEVER EVEN FATHOMED. This Drumpf clown is a danger to our very way of lives.

*Yes, our day-to-day lives*.

I sincerely, ideally, would like a different outcome than the one we have been dealt. But it is what it is and we need to focus, like a laser beam, on defeating this populist fascist.

Many years ago, I read "It Can't Happen Here". It seemed, to me, a quaint tale of a long-bygone era in human history (even though it proved to be prescient afterwards).

We're at the same precipice, that Sinclair Lewis predicted, again.

to even post these lies lying ascribed to Stanford and Berkeley researchers.

"Namely that Hillary’s win was could have only been possible a result of widespread election fraud."

This hostile propaganda is refuted completely by every reputable political statistical group, who all predicted that her great advantages would cause her to win the primary by substantial margins, no fraud of any kind needed. Through most of the primaries it has been increasingly impossible for Sanders to catch up, his chances of winning always only theoretical at best.

The MIC never bends any politician over for Military contracts! They can just move their manufacturing to another state and blame said politician for the job losses.

And then when said Politician who opposed the war votes to support the troops, he's also guilty of voting for war.

It's all just very simple, the Government and the MIC are wholly honest entities that would never do anything wrong or lie about anything! EVER!

51. No. That was AP projecting it based on its models and early voting. There are about 1.4 million

ballots left to count, and while the results for the presidential primary will narrow, the distribution and votes coming in make it very unlikely that Bernie would win, though based on the proportional allocation of delegates he will gain a few delegates, but it appears Hillary will still win the state

As to the view that the votes were suppressed, that announcement was made after the polls closed, so there was no suppression of votes

For vote by mail the ballot must be postmarked or delivered to any polling place by June 7th, and arrive in the county office up to 3 days after the election

This is made very clear at the SOS website, and voter pamphlet every registered voter should receive

Source? They have said nothing of the sort.

They can count to 2383. They did so and reported it.

This isn't difficult.

Hillary had already won before CA voted. The AP is capable of counting delegates and she'd crossed the 2383 threshold. And your assertion that the AP now thinks it was wrong is nonsense.

48. Surely you can provide links to sources covering Sanders' legal challenges to a primary result?
Sat Jun 18, 2016, 02:35 PM
Jun 2016

I mean, if this alleged "FRAUD" is so widespread and rampant, his legal team must have investigated themselves and filed in court to challenge the results of one of the states he lost?

So by all means, provide evidence of these challenges. We'll wait...

PS - Yes, Arizona's GOP closed polling stations, and I believe both camps filed challenges there...but that hurt Hillary more, given her strong Latinx support

To all the people who say it's not possible, remember when the GOP told us it was not possible in 2002 with Max Clelland in Georgia and with John Kerry in 2004 in Ohio? Why is your reaction so different now?

Last I checked, the counting was proceeding as normal, and none of the statewide office or national office results had changed, percentage-wise. BERNIE STILL LOST BY 11+% IN CALIFORNIA.

But y'all carry on.

But that tin-foil house is hilarious

And quite fitting of this thread.

Now as I think about it, did Hillary win ANY primary states? Maybe Sen. Sanders won 'em ALL--even the Southern states which were too conservative to compete in.

That Sen. Sanders didn't give a damn about early in the campaign and said so during one of their first debates?

But then as soon the handwriting was on the wall as in Hillary Clinton was moving on and become the party nominee the emails 'suddenly' became important? Would that be the same Sen. Sanders whose now looking forward to working with presumptive Dem nominee Hillary Clinton--so they can take down Donald tRump?

Hilary lost by a hair in 2008, but I don't recall all these endless conspiracy theories.

Sanders lost by a large margin. Denying reality is not healthy.

Sun Jun 19, 2016, 12:04 AM
Jun 2016

One of the main premises is that we must accept our current reality if we ever hope to move past it. It could really help some BSS deal with all the negativity that they continue to spew against Hillary on behalf of Sen Sanders. The current political reality, even tho very painful for some BSS, is that Hillary is the Democratic nominee and most likely will be President.

to their lib college professors. If they had they would know that correlation is not causation. There could be a million explanations for why Hillary did better in machine voting states.

Making judgments based on exit polls is wrong too.

... to convince the US public that one candidate is better than another, even though one candidate is manufactured and one is real. It's legal fraud. There may have been actual fraud, but I think it would have been used judiciously by experts.
